Here is a step-by-step guide to contouring makeup:
1. Prep the face: Start with skincare. Wash your face and apply moisturizer to keep makeup from clumping up around any dry skin or harsh lines.
2. Shadow: The easiest and most familiar way to contour is to take your darker shade and use it to create a shadow underneath your cheekbones.
3. Highlight: Apply highlighter on the high points of your face such as cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid's bow, and forehead.
4. Blush: Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks.
5. Blend: Use a stippling brush or a blending sponge to go over every line that you’ve created on your face. Blend the lines into your foundation in an upward motion until they are very faint.
6. Set: Dust on some translucent powder to set everything in place.
